Not everyone gets to live out their lifelong dream, but Drake Grillo of upstate New York recently did. The baseball fan got to sing the national anthem before a minor league game, something he's wanted to do his whole life -- all three years of it.

The toddler delivered an adorable and impressive rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a minor league game in Auburn, New York.

Drake's mom, Chelsea Grillo, says her son loves to watch performances of the national anthem before sporting events and has been dreaming about doing it someday. He finally got his chance thanks to the Auburn Doubledays.

Drake, along with his mom who helped along with the pronunciations of some words, belted out the song and received a rousing ovation from the fans and the players.
